So I'm going through the engine/trans before doing a swap from a 99' Camaro. Had been planning on doing a full rebuild, but the trans actually looks really clean, like it has already been gone through. I still want to upgrade stuff while it is out so it can handle a little extra (going for 500 @ crank, just a weekend cruiser though). Now I just need to figure out what is in there.


From this pic I know I need bronze fork pads, a steel 3/4 fork, and billet synchronizer keys. Teeth are slightly worn on the corner of 2nd, but it looks usable.



I'm trying to figure out if it has already had 2nd gear replaced with the viper gear. The teeth look large and in good shape? Sorry the bad pictures.




This was the only comparism pictures I could find, but I'm still not sure what mine is? Viper on the left.





Also how can I tell if it still has the old paper lined synchronizer blocker rings? I had the one on the front shaft off but wasn't sure what I was looking for. I believe it has been gone through, so I would assume they are carbon lined, but if not I would like to go ahead and replace them.

Obviously if I find worn/broken stuff when I pull it apart I will need to add that. Just trying to get the stuff I know I need and hope everything else looks good when it is out on the table since the budget is getting a bit tight.

 

That's the old style 2nd gear you have.

Paper ring on the right, carbon on the left:

 

Thank you Jmm. That helps a lot. I'll double check the ring, but I think I need everything

Is this the correct 2nd? Hawks is showing 3 different ones. 1386-082-005R
